Ein HaShofet (Hebrew: עֵין הַשּׁוֹפֵט, lit. Spring of the Judge) is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Located in the Menashe Heights region around 25 km southeast of the city of Haifa, close to Yokneam, it falls under the jurisdiction of Megiddo Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 864.[1]
Ein HaShofet was established by two Hashomer Hatzair groups from Poland and Highland Mills, New York. They first settled the hill of Jo'ara in 1937 and moved to the current location in 1938. "Ein HaShofet," literally, Judge's Spring, was named in honor of United States Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis (1856-1941), who played a leading role in the American Zionist movement.[2] There is a flowing spring nearby the kibbutz.[3]
The kibbutz owns three industrial companies which produce metal parts, mostly for vehicles, and lighting products on a global scale.
